Batmobile will be a part of Historics at Brooklands auction

One of the most iconic and distinctive film cars of all time is the Batmobile. It will be a part of Historics at Brooklands auction in Surrey on June 2 this year.

Mark Perkins, who is one of Historics' investors, owns the car since 1988.

"Classic cars, and this one in particular, should be driven to be enjoyed, and I've loved taking it on the road over the years. However, my work with Historics at Brooklands will leave me little time to do so in the future, and so sadly it's time someone else derived pleasure of ownership.", said Mark Perkins.

Perkins' Batmobile is one of the three existing cars over the world. It features dashboard-mounted television, rear parachute pod and Batphone. It also has an extensive clippings file, having made numerous promotional appearances, including the Batman stage show in the United Arab Emirates in 1993, and a number of showings alongside Adam West, star of the original Batman TV show.

The car is based on a Lincoln Continental chassis and is completed in 1988. It is extremely reliable and often driven, also offered with a full year's MoT test certificate as well as a UK V5 registration document.
